Southwark is a London Borough which stretches from just west of Blackfriars Bridge to Dulwich in the south and Rotherhithe in the east
which includes a sizeable chunk of the Thames Path and it is on this path that our points of interest are located.

We start with one of the best known landmarks - Southwark Cathedral. The cathedral precincts are confined by the buildings which totally
surround it making it difficult to get a photograph that does it justice.

The George, inside its courtyard, is the only remaining original galleried coaching inn in London dating from the 1600s and is now owned by the National Trust. The
entrance is in Borough High Street not far from London Bridge.

There is another 'galleried pub' in St. Catherine's Dock near Tower Hill but that is a reconstruction and not a genuine original.

Following the Thames Path eastward from Southwark Cathedral leads past Hay's Galleria; a wharf converted into a covered arcade housing
shops and restaurants shown in the left half of the picture. The original wharf, Hay's Wharf, was built in the 1850s and took deliveries from ships from all over the world including
the tea clippers from India and China.

One particular item of interest is David Kemp's 60ft kinetic sculpture, The Navigators, with a combination of moving parts, water jets and
fountains shown in the right half of the picture.

City Hall, not far from Tower Bridge, is home to the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority. It has been described as a striking
building and it certainly is that. It's unfortunate that someone leaned on it before the glue had properly set.
